The Eudyptula Challenge is a series of programming exercises for the Linux kernel, that start from a very basic Hello world kernel module, moving on up in complexity to getting patches accepted into the main Linux kernel source tree. It looks like it is exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks a lot! How would you recommend I then go on to submit full-scale drivers? Should I read through the whole of LDD3 or is there another means to acquire the knowledge?

Why not try working on tiny things first, the odds of you even finding a brand-new driver that needs to be written is so low, I wouldn't even worry about that at this point in time. good luck, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-usb in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
